Kenzo Amour Indian Holi

Kenzo amour was my signature scent years ago but I need a fresh test of it,so I can compare these two,I'm gonna edit when I do so This Indian holi flanker is lovely It's an oriental floral or oriental vanilla in my book not a floral woody musk.. This is very soothing, cozy,cuddly and fresh the same time, and I love such a freshness There is a dominant creamy vanilla,flavored by cherry blossom and a nice,delicious rice steam,little amount of musk and sandalwood to make it deeper and more unique and a touch of frangipani and some other florals to make it more youthful and likable.. Honestly I don't get mentioned notes individually but I can feel their presence,all I get is soft floral vanilla,wrapped in rice steam and some musky sandalwood.I don't detect incense and I don't miss it. It's creamy,fluffy, warm and fresh as mentioned and one of most beautiful creamy vanillas..everything is blended artistically and result is this adorable, delightful,calming scent..sweetness is not sickening,it's not like any other perfume I know except original amour,they both share amour signature gene I wish it was stronger, Longevity is moderate on me.it radiates softly but noticeably for people around you for an hour or two, then it's almost a skinscent,still I'm happy to wrap myself in this soothing heaven Edit: I compared it side by side with original amour and as I thought they share a similar skeleton but Indian holi has more fresh flowers with a slight fruity undertone while the original is more heavy in vanilla-rice pouding.the original is a bit sweeter,warmer and more cozy.has a few hours more longevity and better sillage.indian holy has a slight fruity tartness in opening and has a bit of sharpness comparing to well-rounded, creamy original. Indian holi is exactly what we can name a day/warm weather version of original amour though it's wearable year round not just in spring and summer. It's difficult to choose which one I prefer.I really enjoy both of them but if I have to choose one,it would be the original amour because it packs more punch and I love creamy, sweet,vanilla scents but now that I have both I can choose each of them in different situations. I'm still a hardcore fan of Kenzo Amour but Indian holi is so good that I've already used up my 30mil and purchased a 100mil of it.I love how fresh it is while being a vanilla scent and I love it's floral freshness, I prefer it to aquatic, ozonic or citrus freshness .this is a heavenly floral-vanilla scent that you may love even if you usually hate florals or vanilla scents Now I'd really love to have a bottle of Kenzo l'eau amour for these hot summer days and a bottle of discontinued Kenzo Amour le parfum for the future winter

I finally received this after craving it for a year. Let me start by saying I have an obsession with India and Asian cultures, so when I first saw it on the shelves I knew that I will fall in love with it. The perfume accents a lot of important ingredients and scents that you would smell visiting India and the cherry blossom you would smell visiting Japan as well. The scent bursts with juicy red berries that quickly gives its place to spicy creamy cherry blossom. The floral heart emerge itself after that turns it into a romantic journey by itself. The incense is always there but it's not suffocating incense neither in your face, in contrary the incense only adds a smokey mysterious allure to this fragrance.The pink pepper and the spices tickle your nose as it goes to its dry down which has a woodsy vanilla creamy texture complimented by the long lasting cherry blossom that lingers. The fragrance staying power is excellent 6 to 8 hours on my skin, sillage isn't so strong it would only project itself around half of meter radius around you and the sillage last for 2 hours then it turns to a skin scent that evolves by the time spent on your skin. My man was surprised by how romantic, sensual and feminine ( his exact words) so it's definitely a scent that would suit a romantic date, a night of passion and anytime you feel like you want to smell divine. Its suitable to all seasons, night and day. It can take you from an office setting to a romantic date. I tried it before in the summer and the only difference that the vanilla and incense were more prominent with the heat but nothing unbearable or headache inducing (for me and others). As for myself I will be wearing this while enjoying a homemade Indian curry dinner with my husband. If you love cherry blossom this is a must have. PS: Thanks hubby for finally getting this for me :)

oooh! I love this one! I will keep this around in my wardrobe for a long time. The name suits it perfectly, it is a playful happy scent. It is slightly tropical a very colorful eastern fruity gourmand fragrance. It smells like Holi. I Imagine a crowd of thousands of adults and children just throwing colorful powder on one another in such joy and carelessness, with huge smiles! Its what I imagine living in a rainbow filled world would feel like! This scent absolutely makes you feel like that...so free spirited, a happy go lucky type of personality who falls in love carelessly. A new fave! I cant believe I never tried this one before. As for the notes, they are all detectable! Frangipani with a hint of light spices nothing harsh or in your face, and the vanilla is there all the way through, the cherry blossom shines as well. Beautifully picked ingredients that really work good together to make an unforgettable scent. I have never smelled anything like it! Unique

To me, this fragrance is grace in a bottle. It's that girl who is very pretty, then you discover that she's bright, genuine and kind, too. The name? Well, I'll just take the word of other reviewers about the meaning. I have never been to India, so I really don't have a clue. As for the fragrance, I actually pick up some rose in this. It appears that other reviewers haven't noticed it on themselves, but on me it is subtle, but there. I'm mostly getting cherry blossom, creamy vanilla and rice. This is sweet without being over-the-top and it's well-blended into a lovely and very feminine fragrance. It lasts for hours, but it's not a silliage bomb on me. If you're looking for a versatile fragrance for day or evening, this is a good one.

This is such a beautiful scent. I love it. So comforting, yet fresh. I mainly get rice steam and soft florals against a cuddly vanilla backdrop. The vanilla leans powdery-clean and creamy, rather than sticky-sweet. If only it were more easily available. It's unique and sensual without being imposing, and makes for a perfect signature or day to day scent. It also lasts a good amount of time on me (7 hours) and has a moderate but gentle projection. I can wear this one all year round, but it's especially lovely in spring and fall. I don't care much for original Amour, but I love this one, and I also adore Amour le parfum, that one is better suited for cold months.
